Support different toolchains, specially embedded systesm compilation (arm-gnu compiler)

[MariwanJ]

Premake5 does not support specifying manually what compiler should makefile use. I don't think it is so difficult to support that. Doing so will open another possibility to this project to grow. I really like the simplicity of the build system and wish to have it for embedded systems also
I would like you to share your opinion about this suggestion.
Thanks in advance.

Whereas toolset ssupported by premake might not include the one you want,
Makefiles generated by premake use CC/CXX/AR variables which allow override.
So as long as flags are compatible, it should work.

Other generators don't have that customization point if I am correct.

Actually, I managed to create a template project for stm32. You can look at my github . But there are some problem with premake ... for example make clean does not remove the build folder, and some other small problems. But it is possible. Thanks anyway .. I close this.
